Christmas Eve in the Ward House is full of traditions...making Cinnamon Rolls, re-enacting the Nativity, PJs, treats for Santa, Driving around and looking at Christmas lights, and making food! (Sometimes we have our big Christmas meal on Christmas Eve and sometimes we do it Christmas Day...this year we had it on Christmas, but we did a lot of the cooking the day before!) It was also beautiful & sunny - but COLD, but that didn't stop us from going on a 2 mile walk around the golf course!! Papa sported the best hat in the house (BYU!!) and didn't complain...wow - must be the Christmas Spirit!!! It's magical! This year we decided to put someone in charge of the nativity. It will be a different person each year, but they would be responsible for making cast assignments, choosing the script, deciding where we do the enactment, helping with costumes, etc. CJ was the lucky man to get the job this year! He did a great job directing our Nativity. We also changed the time we did it... why wait until night-time Christmas Eve when it's always hectic and crazy and everyone's tired... so we did it mid-afternoon when everyone was fresh, happy, and we had plenty of time. It worked perfectly!
Clay and Laura found these PJs back in May when they were in Washington DC at the National Archives Bldg Gift Shop- as soon as they saw them...they knew - this is it...these are this years Christmas PJS. They are perfect - done. Well, we probably should have gotten a few of them in bigger sizes ...oh well- we try!
